A few general points: * Google certainly uses OS Open Data for street names in the UK. I corrected a few a while back via the OSGB feeback and they then filtered through to Google Maps. In one case the GSV clearly showed the correct name on the road sign. * The first couple of examples provided by the MS team look like mobile home parks/caravan sites. In these cases, as with many industrial estates, the name most likely does not really belong on the road, and they should be mapped using addr:place. * Any potential comparison with PAF-derived data may be awkward from both OSM's T&Cs and those of the Royal Mail. (see discussions of Land Registy Prices Paid data *inter alia*). * OS Open Data is a good source of roads which actually have names. I think the error rate is much lower than when the data was first released in 2010: at least in part because we have provided feedback. (The most common significant issue was incorrect position of road name changes).
